Savannah Chrisley Opens Up About How Todd and Julie's Prison Sentence Changed Her Life | PEOPLE

At just 27, Savannah Chrisley stepped into an unexpected role—becoming the legal guardian of her younger siblings, Chloe (12) and Grayson (18), after her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, were sentenced to prison for bank fraud and tax evasion in 2022. The transition hasn’t been easy, and in this exclusive interview, Savannah gets real about the challenges of parenting, financial struggles, and her fight to bring her parents home.

"I wasn’t expecting to get two kids," Savannah shares. "Between that and legal expenses to fight for my parents, I’m just like anyone else out here. Sure, I put a smile on my face, but that doesn’t mean I actually am the part. You fake it till you make it."

Despite her reality TV fame, Savannah reveals she’s had to hustle nonstop to provide for her family—working multiple jobs, from real estate and podcasting to social media influencing. She admits: "I’ll work my ass off till the wee hours of the morning if I have to. It’s just who I am."

This is a stark contrast to her earlier years on 'Chrisley Knows Best,' where she enjoyed financial security and never imagined she’d one day be responsible for her family’s well-being. Now, with Todd and Julie’s sentences reduced but their appeals denied, Savannah remains determined to fight for their release.
